Clinical Trials: Patient Recruitment & Study Management
ReCES is a clinical research candidate evaluation solution designed to work in concert with the NextGen EHR (EMR). ReCES performs real-time encounter based evaluations of research study qualification parameters to aid in the identification of potential clinical trial research participants. This powerful application leverages your EHR system for clinical trial recruitment and increases study revenue for your organization.
Due to the increasing number of study parameters, finding viable research candidates if often difficult as well as time consuming. ReCES takes the labor and time out of finding candidates by utilizing the data already residing in your EHR (EMR) to identify possible study candidates.
How ReCES Works
Most studies require the evaluation of many different aspects of the encounter for inclusion or exclusion for each study: medications, diagnoses, vitals, demographics, lab results, etc. ReCES scans the EHR data utilizing the study parameter evaluations during the course of the encounter (patient visit) and alerts the provider that the patient is a possible candidate so they are able to assess the interest of the patient to participate in research studies while the patient is in the clinic. The real-time nature of the ReCES system also allows for the evaluation of acute condition studies which would be almost impossible otherwise and helps to avoid exclusionary actions that may disqualify the patient.

Candidate Management Features:
- Supports exclusion lists so patients opting out of particular studies or research participation completely will not be scanned.
- Provides study priority management so patients qualifying for multiple studies are not contacted multiple times by different coordinators working with different studies.
- Provides patient status tracking so coordinators can keep track of where each patient is in the qualification process.
- Supports preliminary database scans which include demographic, diagnosis and medication parameters either ad hoc or from a defined study to find initial patients that may qualify before encounter scanning is implemented or as a tool to determine potential study participation success based on your patient population.
- Supports use of the EHR inclusion lists to segregate enrolled patients so study monitors can evaluate enrolled patient charts without elaborate security settings for the EHR.
- Provides automatic patient study enrollment checking and notification while documenting the patient in the EHR. Notification includes a pop-up alert to the provider and optional EHR workflow task and SMS text message to the research coordinator associated with the study.
- Provides automatic enrollment violation checks and notification for exclusion medications prescribed during an encounter. Notification includes a pop-up alert to the provider and optional EHR workflow task and SMS text message to the research coordinator associated with the study.
